Ohio Lax in the News - Vol. 11

Want to know what Ohio Machine Head Coach Ted Garber thinks teams need to focus on more to build an effective lacrosse program? Then don’t miss out on the first of Head Coach Ted Garber’s Coaching Clinic Series presented by OSU Sports Medicine on Saturday, September 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

During the clinic, Head Coach Garber will be targeting the fundamentals for teams and individuals, which he says “are THE most important components to playing lacrosse successfully.” On top of focusing on the building blocks of lacrosse, Garber will be emphasizing recognition and movement off ball, both offensively and defensively.

You don’t want to miss this fun-filled, family friendly lacrosse extravaganza! Open to youth and high school boys and girls, the three-hour event will feature skills competitions including fastest shot, trick shot and accuracy, specialty clinics including facing off with Anthony Kelly, defense with Greg Bice and Max Schmidt, OSU men's and women's lacrosse team, a girls clinic, games, drills and much more!

There will be a raffle, prizes, giveaways, vendors, food, music and a dunk tank – all in the name of Lacrosse the Nations! All event proceeds will directly support the mission of the LTN – unifying the lacrosse community to sustainably improve education and health while creating hope and opportunity for children in need. All paying participants will receive a cinch bag! There will also be other LTN merchandise and lax gear for sale onsite!
